It was learned from the Qinghai Branch of China Huadian Corporation Ltd. that the cumulative power generation of China's first high-altitude PV-hydrogen-energy storage integrated project—the Huadian Delingha 1 million kW PV+ESS and 3 MW PV hydrogen production project—has exceeded 4 billion kWh. The project is located in Delingha City, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, and features supporting facilities including a 3 MW hydrogen production station, a 330 kV booster station, and a 270 MW/1,080 MWh ESS power station. It is among the first batch of large-scale wind and solar power base projects in desert-Gobi-wasteland areas in China, and also represents China's first attempt at green electricity hydrogen production in high-altitude areas.

[Brazil's Critical Minerals Progress Depends on Government Support, Industry Says]

At the Rio de Janeiro Energy Summit on June 25, panelists stated that without direct government support, Brazil will not advance its critical minerals sector, given the country's lack of infrastructure, technology, and long‑term investment. Analysts noted that minerals have become a strategic asset essential for ensuring technological leadership and energy security, and should no longer be viewed merely as extractive commodities. They added that a sound legal and regulatory framework is key to providing predictability and certainty for long‑term investment in the industry. Marcos Mesquita, Strategic Vice President of LPG distributor Copa Energia, said the mining sector should focus on diversifying extraction operations into multiple minerals and their by‑products to increase revenue. Mesquita added that Brazil should not emulate China, as it can leverage its abundant water resources and dominant renewable energy generation to build a more sustainable industry platform.
